US President Donald Trump has recently touted the use of convalescent plasma as a COVID-19 treatment. He even suggested regulators’ reported decision to put on hold an emergency authorization for its usage might be “politically motivated.”
“I’ve heard fantastic things about convalescent plasma,” the US President said.
As per a report by the New York Times, an emergency approval by the Food and Drug Administration for using blood plasma as a COVID-19 treatment has been put on hold over concerns the data backing it was “too weak.”
It is worth mentioning that convalescent plasma is the blood’s liquid part that is collected from patients who have recovered from COVID-19.
